10.55.020 Traffic emergency proclamation.
Whenever snow, freezing rain, sleet, or any other climatic conditions are such that serious travel conditions may result, the Director of the Public Works Department may declare a traffic emergency. Appropriate notice of this event will be given to available broadcast media and newspapers for publication.
In the event of a traffic emergency:
(a) No one shall operate a motor vehicle on an emergency snow route in such a manner or condition that such vehicle will become stalled due to the vehicle not being properly equipped with effective snow tires or chains; and
(b) No vehicle shall be parked on any street designated as an emergency snow route.
These prohibitions will remain in effect until the Director of the Public Works Department has terminated the traffic emergency. (Ord. 17606 § 1, 11-28-00. Code 1981 § 43-290. Code 1995 § 142-537.)
